  1. The price of the weld cell from what I was told was 300g,s. The other two were like 60 g,s. Both will get their money back in the first year. As for the other, NO. Im not one of those guys and I like my fingers where they are thank you very much.
  2. Theres a fella here aswell that told me this. I owe him thanks as well. Thanks Wayne.
  3. I will agree. They are very strong.

  5. Dave, you have been by a few times to see whats up there. You know when I say Im busy, Im busy. Drop by agian soon to have a look. One milk half sugar
  6. I wont B S ya here Johnny. This new stuff is getting out of my league. Not way out, but it sure gives me the, can I keep up thought ? ( why I am willing to take the upgrade training, never hurts to learn ) I am one now that will say, Im out, your the one now. You dont know how hard that is for me to say. Yes I was the one that wanted the control ( these are my machines ), but after all that has happen to me this year, I know I need to step back and just enjoy, what I can. It took my retiring manager to finally get that through my head. The fella taking over for him (younger then I ) said the same. You can only control what you can during your shift. I do get caught up at times, but told easy,go for a walk. I walk to timmies and get a coffee and come back relaxed. Nice to have one steps away from the front door. LOL
  7. Theres no cheating in NASCAR. Come on. They are all equal. So we are told.
  8. For the first time I think, you double posted a thread. Look down.LOL
  9. Just check the scan. There are many big cells. Im not surprised as the weather we have had this week. it had to come.
  10. This what keeps me busy. About ten years ago, I was given the task of taking care of the new plant. It was going to be our welding devision. A newer adventure for this company. ( they had a small unit before ) We recieved a take over job. It was a robotic welder. This was like way out there for me, but after time, I got to know and program it . Then a few years later, we got another. Busy busy busy. Then a few years after that, we got another. This one was the gen2. I already had the first gen down ( simple really once you get to know it), but needed to learn some new operations of the machine. It turned out to make the job/ programing, easier. I dont know how we keep getting all these jobs (not complaining, it,s job security ) but man, I was starting to get over whelmed being the one man show. That was until 3 months ago, when we finally hired a young fella that is up with the new. I am so happy. I have been asking for this for the last 3 years. Tired of the old school boys that thought they had the answers to all. Yet, what they knew, I already did. News came of two new projection welders coming in for a huge supplier for Honda. Both here in Aliston and the USA ( Alabama ). Lucky for me, I already had many years of using and working with this type of welder. They arrived 3 weeks ago and will be ready for full blown production in a week. Lots of work went into these. Will produce 500,000-1,000,000 parts a year. Thats X- 5 different parts. I guess the company figured I needed more work to do, so yeasterday, the newest addition of the welding family arrived. I never got to go and see it before it was to arrive as I was off with my eye thing. When it arrived, I was like OMG, It just squeezed in the over head door. Once in place, I was all over it. It was a thing of beauty. Turning axis table, duel gen 3 robots, two drive systems that will allow for no spatter and better flow control of the welds. I also found out we have some big pipe weld jobs on the go. This is going to be fun to learn and PLAY with. Yes PLAY.I love programing these things. I have to say though, I am looking forward to my course to keep up. For now, it,s going to be the young gun to handle it for now. For the first time since I have had this job, I am happy to hand it over. For now.LOL J/K. Im comfortable being second fiddle now. It will probly be a month or so before its up and running production, but will be taking some video of the dueo dancing. Im sure this will not be last, as talk of expanding the building is in the air.
  11. All I have to say is, thank gawd they have ready to go broiled chicken at the local store. Temps reached 40 in the plant today. I was in no mood to come home and cook. Easy peezey roll ups will be just fine for me tonight. That looks great Doug.
  12. I beg to differ, but to each their own. Thanks Drew. With the heat wave this week, Im thinking the small lake might be off. Might just stick fishing the big pond here.
  13. Always been a double blue fan. Watched the games on tv black and white with my grandfather. Once I was in high school, I couldnt wait to try out for the jr team. Made it as a right tackle. Played that position through out my high school stay. My princible back then, was Russ Jackson . Probly the best QB in the CFL in his era. Best player IMO in the CFL ever. PINBALL. Little man and played like he was a giant. NFL, Im a Bills fan. Ya sad I know.LOL
